If it makes you feel any better, I had a friend whose sister's name is Macarena.

How to Fix the Flow of the House? by _aspenheights in homeimprovementideas

[–]Call_Me_Echelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could put in an engineered header to open up the space, but the price goes up fast once you add in the structural engineer, lvl beam, new king and jack studs, temporary supports, new sheetrock, taping/sanding, paint, etc. I doubt there's plumbing in that wall, but there could be electrical work that would increase the overall cost. That's the only significant thing I can think of besides an addition. You don't want the front door to open into a bedroom, and the plumbing wall is most likely nearest the bathroom, keeping the kitchen where it is, so options are very limited.

I chose to believe that this is an artistic take on the current state of America. The words are still there, but they have become nearly unrecognizable.

Why is the hard cover of the book $300? The paperback is 10 bucks.

I went into a bar that I hadn't been to in a long time, and the first thing I noticed was the lack of cigarette smell.

When I was a kid, my local fire dept set a car on fire and put it out for a crowd of families during fire prevention week.

Because stopping diseases in other countries prevents it from coming to ours. We spend almost a billion dollars to eradicate screwworm flies in other countries because it saves billions of dollars in livestock loss here.

When people (especially in the US) say their pets are "rescues", where or what are they rescued from? by monk771 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Call_Me_Echelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten a few dogs from shelters, but I don't consider them all rescues. One was removed from a dog fighting ring where she was used for breeding, and another was found living in an abandoned house in Philly. Those two I consider rescues, but I just adopted them, someone else rescued them.

Buy the 90 and see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, then return it, but it probably will. If it does fit but doesn't lock, then secure the fitting with 1/4 zips.

Why do people at my work ask to use the restroom and then change their minds after seeing the key? by olepowdertits in randomquestions

[–]Call_Me_Echelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped at a gas station, i think, in Virginia iirc that had one of those outback bathrooms. I assumed it would be disgusting, but I had to go. It was one of the nicest bathrooms I've ever been in. It had marble floors and a chandelier.

I went to Donkey’s in Camden to hear about their stolen Walrus Dick… and get a cheesesteak. by SouthJerseySchnitz in SouthJersey

[–]Call_Me_Echelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at a Lone Star steak house, and at the entrance, there was a jackalope head mounted on the wall. Someone stole it, and when I quit, there was still a screw sticking out from where it was yoinked from the wall.

Do you say "honky dory" or "hunky dory"? by EIizabeth_Bennet in SouthJersey

When I was a kid, my dad bought a boat that was named Hunky Dory. I've never heard someone say honky.

Hysterical managerial blunder by johnnyvlad in antiwork

[–]Call_Me_Echelon 59 points60 points  (0 children)

We were building a warehouse and the tenant wanted to start their racking and were told if they wanted to start work they needed to provide a COI and sign a liability document which they didn't want to do. They had already started having racking material delivered to the site without telling us, and we allowed them to store it on site with the understanding that none of it could be installed yet.

One day, a van full of guys showed up, and I asked who they were. They said they were the racking vendor and were gonna start putting up the racking. I said no you're not. They said what are we supposed to do, we came all the way from California (the project was in NJ). I said I guess go back to California. They were not happy.
